Lin Sishen's expression froze when she heard this. She sneered and said, "Brother is joking with Shen'er, right?"

The eldest brother said that Shen Qingwan teased her because he regarded her as his elder brother. Lin Sishen had never thought about this absurd conclusion, so naturally he did not believe it.

But Lin Sitao frowned, looked at her steadily and asked, "Why, do you think what I said is wrong?"

He couldn't completely deny his elder brother's inference. Lin Sishen considered it carefully and said, "It is indeed a bit ridiculous."

Maybe she shouldn't ask her eldest brother about this matter. He has never been married and rarely gets along with women. How could he know the woman's thoughts? Besides, he didn't know that Lin Sishen was a woman.

Lin Sitao shook his head, sighed softly and said: "Shen'er, you often hang out in brothels and wine shops. Let me ask you, have you ever seen a woman teasing the person she likes?"

Lin Sishen thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before."

Hearing this, Lin Sitao raised his hand and slapped the wooden table hard, and said in a deep voice: "Women are as soft-tempered as water. Even a strong woman will not tease her husband like this. Since you said that the princess often teases you, I'm afraid The princess has never regarded you as her husband."

This sounds somewhat reasonable. Shen Qingwan and Lin Sishen are just in a cooperative relationship, and neither of them has ever regarded the other as a person who will be together for life.

Seeing her thoughtful look, Lin Sitao continued: "You and the princess have known each other since childhood. The Ninth Prince only has the princess as the apple of his eye. After the princess married you, she has never been married to you. In fact, even if she regards you as a brother, it’s not ridiculous, maybe it’s just fun to tease you.”

Lin Sishen sat with her eyes downcast. She felt that what Lin Sitao said made sense, but also felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Lin Sitao sighed softly and patted her shoulder gently as if to comfort him: "Don't think about it too much. Husband and wife are just a fate cultivated in the past life. They are lucky enough to be together in this life. Maybe as time goes by, Princess I will fall in love with you."

It seems that he thought that Lin Sishen was in love with Shen Qinghan, but he did not dare to say it because of his own hidden illness, so he made wild guesses about Shen Qinghan's thoughts.

Seeing the sky getting darker, Lin Sitao stood up and asked, "Shen'er, do you want to stay and have dinner with me?"

Lin Sishen came to her senses, stood up, and declined with a chuckle: "No, it's time for me to go back."

After leaving her eldest brother's courtyard, Lin Sishen kept thinking about what her eldest brother said to her on the way back to Liuguang Pavilion, but she quickly realized that she seemed to be focusing too much on Shen Qingwan.

She calmed down, pushed aside all the distracting thoughts in her mind, and walked slowly into the Glazed Light Pavilion.

Lan Qing and Lu Yin were preparing dinner. When they saw her walking in, they leaned forward and said, "The county horse has come at the right time. The princess is telling us to invite the county horse to have a meal."

Lin Sishen nodded and looked at the food on the table but there was no sign of Shen Qinghan, so he asked casually: "Where is the princess?"

Lan Qing glanced at the study: "The princess is still in the study. The princess said that she is not hungry. The princess can just eat by herself and there is no need to wait for her."

"Aren't you hungry?" Lin Sishen was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Is the princess still angry with me, so she doesn't want to eat at the same table with me?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Lan Qing and Lu Yin covered their lips and smiled: "The Princess had guessed that the Commander-in-Chief would say this."

Lan Qing coughed slightly, looked at Lin Sishen who looked confused, and said directly: "The princess said, there is no need to make assumptions, she just has something to do, and she is not angry with you."

After the two girls left, Lin Sishen didn't even take a few bites of the food on the table. She put down her bowls and chopsticks and looked at the candlelit study opposite. After a little hesitation, she added a bowl of vegetarian porridge, walked to the study door and knocked. Knock on the door.

No one answered inside, so Lin Sishen knocked again, and finally Shen Qinghan's voice came from inside, saying coldly: "Come in."

Lin Sishen pushed the door open and looked directly at Shen Qinghan who was standing behind the desk. She looked down at Shuzhuo with a cold face. There was a scroll on top. Lin Sishen glanced at it and vaguely felt that it was a scroll. Topographic map.

Lin Sishen closed the door and stood by the door with a cup of plain porridge. He did not approach, but just whispered in a low voice: "Princess."

Shen Qinghuan said in a cold voice without raising her head: "Come here."

After hearing this, Lin Sishen walked slowly to the desk, put the vegetarian porridge in her hand aside, then took a deep breath and smiled: "Even if the princess is not hungry, she should eat something to avoid starving her body."

"Yes." Shen Qingwen responded in a low voice, then raised her eyes, and saw an extremely cold expression on her fair and delicate face. She did not glance at the porridge that Lin Sishen brought for her, but just stood still. , frowned and said slowly: "Come and take a look."

Lin Sishen nodded and walked around the desk to her side. He looked at the scrolls spread on the table. After just one glance, she was stunned. She was startled and looked up at Shen Qingwan in surprise: "This is..."

Shen Qingwen looked sideways at her, a dark light flashed in his eyes: "This is the border defense map."

A few days ago, when Lin Sishen was away, Wen Xingren hurried back to the border the next day after meeting with His Majesty, and then set up defenses at the border. In just a few days, Shen Qinghan actually got the defense map.

Not only that, Lin Sishen looked at the defense map carefully. Not only the border defenses of Jin State, but also the terrain of the border were also drawn extremely finely. The names and characteristics of all the terrain were also written on it with ink dipped in cinnabar. Look. The ink is still fresh when I write it, and the handwriting is a bit familiar. It should have been marked by Shen Qinghan just now.

A strand of black hair on Shen Qingwan's forehead slowly slid down. She raised her hand, her white little finger gently picked up the strand of hair and put it behind her ear. She said lightly: "I won't give you this picture, but You can take some time to write it down, and if you don’t understand anything, you can ask me.”

After Lin Sishen glanced at it, he lowered his eyes and said, "When will the war start?"

Shen Qingwan slowly sat down, with a tired look on her face. She only glanced at Lin Sishen lightly, then lowered her eyes and said, "I'm afraid it will be faster than you and I think."

Lin Sishen remained silent. She looked at the dense terrain on the scroll carefully, raised her lips and smiled softly and said: "Actually, I have remembered these clearly for a long time. Every mountain and every stream is clear to me."

Shen Qingwan was stunned for a moment. She looked at Lin Sishen with a complicated expression and asked softly: "You knew you were going to go very early?"

Lin Sishen picked up the plain porridge on the side. There was still a faint residual warmth on the jade bowl. She handed it to Shen Qinghan and said with a smile: "Nip it in the bud. After all, my father is a general who has experienced hundreds of battles in the Jin Dynasty." ."

Shen Qingwan lowered his eyes and said: "After the war begins, His Majesty will personally appoint a supervisory army, and you may go together."

Lin Sishen raised his eyebrows and said softly: "What do I need to do?"

Shen Qingwan shook his head: "As long as you get there, you will understand what you have to do."

Lin Sishen was silent for a long time but did not continue to ask. Instead, he gently raised his hand and said, "It's getting cold."

"Thank you." Shen Qingwan looked at the plain porridge in Lin Sishen's hand, pursed her lips, thanked her, and took it.

Her white jade hand gently held the porcelain soup with her tail finger slightly raised. Even when Shen Qinghan was drinking porridge, she looked so elegant and dignified that people couldn't take their eyes away. Lin Sishen leaned his back against the corner of the desk, staring at her motionless. I watched it for a long time.

Shen Qingwan took a small sip of the porridge, and her lowered brows frowned slightly. Being looked at so directly by someone, she obviously couldn't eat anymore because she already had no appetite. She bit her red lips and put it down. Porcelain Soup was about to speak, but Lin Sishen got in first.

"The princess stays alone in the palace all year round, but has she ever..."

"What?"

Lin Sishen asked mysteriously halfway through but paused again. Shen Qinghan raised his eyes and looked at her with her head tilted slightly to one side, her face looking cold but serious. She was waiting for Lin Sishen to finish speaking.

What Lin Sitao said today really made Lin Sishen think about it. Shen Qinghan told her last time that if she had any doubts, she could ask directly, so Lin Sishen gritted her teeth and spat out the second half of the sentence: "Have you ever felt that Lonely and lonely.”

Shen Qingwen's narrow and cold eyes narrowed slightly, obviously confused by Lin Sishen's vague question. She said softly: "What exactly do you want to ask? Just say it."

Lin Sishen took a deep breath, turned her gaze away and said, "Princess, have you ever thought that it would be much more interesting if there was an elder brother accompanying you at home?"

Although she spoke vaguely, Shen Qinghan vaguely guessed what she meant from Lin Sishen's words.

Shen Qinghan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a half-smile, "Why, Mr. Lin still worries about such things for me?"

Lin Sishen coughed lightly: "If the princess really has such regrets..."

Shen Qingwan narrowed her eyes, with a hint of joking in her expression: "Young Master Lin, do you want to be my brother?"

Lin Sishen felt a little guilty, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said, "Since we have a three-year agreement, our relationship will become even deeper after three years. How about we sworn sworn friends in private? It would be a good fate." .”

After hearing this, Shen Qingwan glanced at her lightly, then stood up and put the jade bowl in his hand on the desk, and said with a cold expression: "It seems that Mr. Lin has really found this third way."

The jade bowl was placed on the desk with some effort. The dull sound made Lin Sishen couldn't help but tremble. She looked at Shen Qinghan with a smile and boldly continued to ask: "What do you think, Princess?"

Shen Qingwen raised the corners of her lips with a half-smile, and a cold light flashed across her cold eyes. She asked softly: "Do you want to sworn brother and sister with me?"

Lin Sishen touched her arm and felt that the room suddenly seemed a little colder. She took two steps back with a smile on her face and said awkwardly: "Is it possible that the princess doesn't want to?"

Shen Qinghan looked intently at Lin Sishen who was hiding further and further away. As if she was doing some magic, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. She looked at Lin Sishen coldly, lightly opened her red lips and said: "It's not that Qinghan doesn't want to, it's just that she's afraid Mr. Lin will regret it in the future."

When these words came out of Shen Qingwan's mouth, Lin Sishen sounded like a threat. She waved her hands knowingly and said, "That's it, that's all."

Shen Qingwan glanced at her, walked past her without saying a word, and walked straight out of the study. However, when she passed by, Lin Sishen, who was covered in coldness, couldn't help but shudder.

Lin Sishen dejectedly walked to the desk and sat down, touching his hands that were still getting goosebumps, feeling a complicated feeling in his heart.

If you don’t make a sworn vows, then you won’t make a sworn vows. Why are you so angry again?

After staying in the study for a long time, Lin Sishen stretched out and planned to go back to the room to sleep for a while. Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, she saw Lan Qing and Lu Yin walking over carrying her cloud couch.

Lin Sishen walked over quickly and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"

Lan Qing was a little confused. She looked at Lin Sishen in shock and replied: "The princess said that since we are brother and sister, it is not good to sleep in the same room. She ordered us to bring the cloud couch to the study."

After saying that, she asked Lin Sishen with a puzzled look on her face: "Prince Ma Ye, what do you mean by this?"

Lu Yin shrugged and said clearly: "Stupid, I just mean sleeping in separate rooms. The princess has made the princess unhappy."

Lin Sishen stood blankly by the door, not knowing how to react for a moment. She watched helplessly as Lan Qing and Lu Yin placed the cloud couch in the study, and then sighed quietly.

If she could make Shen Qingwen angry twice in one day, she must be the only one who can do it, she thought to herself.

+++++

There always seemed to be a scent of ink in the study. Lin Sishen was lying on the cloud couch, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She reached out and touched the pillow under her pillow out of habit, trying to take out the soothing incense that Shen Qinghan had given her before, but instead I felt empty.

She suddenly turned over and sat up, and grabbed the pillow. Sure enough, she saw that the bottom was empty, and the porcelain bottle that had been placed under the pillow was missing.

Was it accidentally lost while moving, or was it taken away by Shen Qingwan?

Lin Sishen sighed and lay on the cloud couch, lying on the soft fox fur but still couldn't fall asleep.

She couldn't sleep anyway, so Lin Sishen fortunately planned to go out for a walk. She returned to the yard where she lived before and took out a pair of night clothes to change into.

Then she jumped out of the back garden and headed straight to the west of the city. She passed through the intricate streets and alleys, avoiding the watchman, and soon she came to a dilapidated wooden house.

This is the westernmost part of the capital. There are many rickety wooden houses densely located around it. They are usually the homes of poor people and beggars. They are mixed and dilapidated. Anyone with a certain status will not set foot here at all. .

It was pitch dark inside the wooden house, and there were spider webs in front of the door. It looked like it was uninhabited.

Lin Sishen walked around the main door and walked to the closed wooden window on the side, then gently knocked on the wooden window and called out in a low voice: "Meng Yange."

There was silence inside for a long time, and then the wooden window was opened a crack, and a pair of twinkling peach blossom eyes looked out, looking at Lin Sishen, who was wearing night clothes, with a hint of vigilant surprise.

Lin Sishen pulled down the black scarf to reveal her face. She raised her lips and smiled and said, "It's me."

Meng Yange opened the wooden window without saying a word and stepped aside. Lin Sishen jumped in. She just stood still and before turning around, a sharp and chilling dagger was pressed against her waist.

Lin Sishen stiffened, and she slowly raised her hand and said helplessly: "I am here just to give you the letter and ask you to help me deliver it to your elders."

Meng Yange looked at her coldly, with a fierce murderous intention flashing in his eyes. She asked coldly: "How do you know where I am hiding?"

Lin Sishen stood motionless, and she replied softly: "I have my own methods, you just need to know that I am not hostile to you."

Meng Yange was stunned for a moment, but the hand on Lin Sishen's waist tightened, and she said solemnly: "The elder said that you are from the prince, but you are all the same, and you have bad intentions when approaching me."

Lin Sishen smiled faintly and ignored the dagger at his waist. He turned around and looked at Meng Yange: "Do you really think so?"

"What is your purpose and who are you?" Meng Yange raised his hand and pointed the dagger at Lin Sishen's neck.

The sharp edge touched the skin of the neck, and a tingling sensation came. Lin Sishen looked at Meng Yange with an unchanged expression. She slowly put down her hand, shrugged and said: "I am not your enemy. On the contrary,

I am someone who wants to help you."

Meng Yange looked at her with twinkling eyes, pursed her lips and said, "Why should I believe you?"

Lin Sishen stood with her hands behind her hands and said calmly: "If you don't believe me, you can kill me."

Meng Yange squinted at her for a long time, and then suddenly withdrew her hand. She snorted and glanced at Lin Sishen's waist, saying sarcastically: "That's all you say, if you really let me handle it, then you should hide it first."

Take out the dagger."

Lin Sishen smiled faintly, then opened her arms, and half of a black dagger was faintly exposed in the sleeve of her right hand: "Miss Meng is indeed very perceptive."

Lin Sishen took out the dagger from his sleeve and placed it on the ground, and said softly: "Miss Meng, I am very sincere in cooperating with you."

Meng Yange didn't say anything, just spread his hands and said: "Give me the letter."

After hearing this, Lin Sishen took out the letter he had written all morning from his waist and placed it in Meng Yan's singer. After watching her put the letter away, she slowly said, "You elders seem to think that I have another agenda."

Meng Yange rolled his eyes at her, picked up the dagger that Lin Sishen had placed on the ground, played with it and said, "I'm afraid people with some brains will doubt you. If you hadn't saved me before, I wouldn't have believed you."

Lin Sishen raised his chin slightly and said with a half-smile, "So, do you believe me?"

Meng Yange lowered her eyes and looked at the dagger in her hand, and was suddenly stunned. She lowered her head without saying a word.

Oops, Lin Sishen reacted almost instantly. Meng Yange had met Li Luo before, and Li Luo had injured several of their people. Her dagger was given by Li Luo, and it was also made of meteorite.

And they are both made by the same person.

If Meng Yange recognized it keenly, I'm afraid he would know that Li Luo was the person she sent.

This was Lin Sishen's mistake. She temporarily forgot that the dagger she was carrying was given to her by Li Luo.

Sure enough, just when Lin Sishen was on guard, Meng Yange suddenly and silently stepped forward, stabbing Lin Sishen directly in the chest with the dagger in his hand.

Fortunately, Lin Sishen was on guard. As soon as Meng Yange moved, she took two steps back, raised her sleeves, and a burst of white smoke floated towards Meng Yange.

On the contrary, Meng Yange was unprepared and actually took two puffs of white smoke. His eyes suddenly became hazy and his body became weak and weak.

Lin Sishen stepped forward to support her, and said helplessly with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry."

Meng Yange fell in her arms, struggling to get up but unable to move at all. She gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Sishen, and uttered two words hatefully: "You bastard."

Lin Sishen helped her lean against the wall, squatted aside and looked at Meng Yange's dark face, and said softly: "You were hit by Ruanxiang Powder just now, and you won't be able to move for half an hour. I know you won't wake up.

Please listen to my explanation, this is the only solution."

Meng Yange closed her eyes and said coldly: "Who are you, that female assassin?"

"Yes, she is my companion." Lin Sishen nodded, and then explained: "She was originally following you to check your whereabouts, but you unexpectedly found her out. It was your people who killed you first, so she had no choice but to do this

The person who hurt you."

Meng Yange snorted coldly, raised the corners of his lips sarcastically and said: "The elder is right, you are indeed not a good person. I was stupid enough to believe you and promised to deliver a message to the elder for you."

Lin Sishen said helplessly: "I'm looking for your traces just to understand why you are still staying in the capital. I have no ill intentions and sincerely want to cooperate with you. However, it was indeed my mistake to hurt your people."

Meng Yange looked at her intently, and after a while he suddenly said softly: "If you are willing to cooperate with us, it is not impossible."

Lin Sishen instantly understood what Meng Yange meant, and she asked decisively: "What are the conditions?"

Meng Yange's eyes flashed: "The condition is that you must hand over the female assassin to us."

Lin Sishen frowned when she heard this. Without any hesitation, she rejected Meng Yange's condition: "No way, I won't agree."

Meng Yange smiled coldly and said, "Then you don't have to waste your time."

Lin Sishen shook her head. After being silent for a while, she raised her eyes and said, "I will never hand over that person to you under any circumstances, but there may be other ways to show your sincerity."

Meng Yange looked at her with complicated eyes: "What can I do?"

Lin Sishen didn't say anything, just smiled softly and said: "You will see it soon."

After the two had a conversation, Meng Yange leaned against the wall with her eyes closed. She pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, and she seemed to be still angry.

Lin Sishen slowly sat next to her, looked at her cold side face, and asked softly with some hesitation: "Miss Meng, you..."

Meng Yange closed her eyes, suddenly interrupted her words, and uttered a few words in a muffled voice: "You liar."

Lin Sishen was stunned for a moment, then explained helplessly: "I didn't lie to you, I just didn't expect that she would hurt your people, but if you hadn't taken action first..."

Meng Yange opened her eyes and turned her head to look at her. Under the dim light, her peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of hazy mist. Her voice was trembling as if she was aggrieved, and she said dullly: "Why should I believe you?"

This bastard."

Lin Sishen sat up straight. She looked at the tears flashing in Meng Yange's eyes and hesitated: "You...shouldn't you be crying?"

Meng Yange gritted his teeth, looked at her hatefully and said, "Lin Sishen, you are a big liar."
